South Korea has become the first airport to largely automate many of the tasks usually performed by humans in an attempt to ease the coming travel increase brought on by the Winter Olympics. They have launched a set of LG robots that they hope will be a game changer in daily operations.

South Korea, well known for being at the top of technological innovation, has invested $1.6 trillion won ($1.5 billion USD) to create the first widely accessible 5G internet services.

The speed of the service would be so high that a full movie of high quality could be downloaded within literally seconds. They also plan on integrating other technologies through the service, such as hologram transmission and a new form of social media.

“We helped fuel national growth with 2G services in the 1990s, 3G in the 2000s and 4G around 2010. Now it is time to take preemptive action to develop 5G. Countries in Europe, China and the US are making aggressive efforts to develop 5G technology, and we believe there will be fierce competition in this market in a few years,” the country’s science ministry said.
